Although he was unable to kill the patriarch, the command chain of gene thieves in this place was completely disrupted because of the loss of most elders and commanders. Although Bahram cares about the whereabouts of the patriarch, he is more important to solve the battlefield first, so he ordered the company to disperse the arsenals and command posts that prioritize attacking gene thieves.
After being disturbed by this, the rebels of the gene stealers could no longer maintain the front. The planetary guards immediately rushed into the occupied area like a tide, and the Space Marines had withdrawn from the battle.
Things were much simpler after the Space Marine evacuated. Although there were actually many uninfected people in the war zone, the Governor had already issued a death order a long time ago - all the people in the occupied areas were traitors, regardless of whether they were infected or not.
More importantly, after all calculations, the Governor discovered something that if he used normal means, he would no longer be able to collect the upcoming tithes. The taxes on this planet are "miscellaneous" rather than "human power", that is, property in the common sense, especially the various rare metals produced by this planet, which are themselves the main currency of the planet.
If you want to collect enough tithes, the Governor can think of only one way-
A vigorous "Alien Cleansing" campaign is about to begin and will sweep the lower nest and some middle nests. Hundreds of millions of people will die or become slaves, and their property will be confiscated. Whether they are innocent or not is no longer important.
Bahram did not know that a terrible and bloody public robbery was about to happen. He focused all his attention on the escaped patriarch. He realized that the patriarch's escape was not a sudden act, and the other party probably knew that the Space Marine was coming, that is, there were gene thieves or their accomplices in the upper nest.
But the patriarch did not inform its descendants about this, otherwise the rebels would not have been caught off guard. In this case, there was only one possibility...
The patriarch wants to escape and leave this world. It regards its descendants as victims of cover for escape!
Bahram immediately ordered an investigation into all recent communication channels. Soon the technical priest discovered a "commercial communication" from Xiachao two days ago, which was communicating with the rail transport center. Although the other party used a legal channel and the company did exist, there was no communication in the past ten years, which was obviously abnormal.
The content of the communication is even more strange. In just one sentence, the meat is cold and fresh, so I will give it to you quickly.
This is the Nest Capital, where does the fresh meat transaction come from?
Bahram realized that someone was responding to the patriarch in the orbit center, and immediately led the team there and retrieved the docking and communication person, but found that the other party had disappeared long ago. Fortunately, there were only one ship that had set off recently, a cargo and passenger ship, and the war was delayed by one day. In fact, Bahram had already asked the governor to order all ships to be prohibited during the war, but it was obvious that he overestimated the execution ability of these people.
Fortunately, the ship has only set off for a while, and the civilian ship is relatively slow and has not yet made a subspace jump. When we arrived at another colony of the galaxy, we might also want to take new guests or load and unload more cargo.
Bahram directly took the company to rush towards the other side as quickly as possible in a cruiser. Regardless of the other side, he directly destroyed part of the engine to ensure that the other side cannot escape or approach the space station. Then there was this jumping activity - in fact, he could directly destroy an entire ship, but there were still more than 100,000 passengers on the ship.
This time, the jump gang has only one target, killing the patriarch and eliminating all gene stealers with minimal casualties.
"Everyone has set out... the company commander's landing craft is on the right side of our right."
Jacob connected the observation lenses behind and on the side of the landing craft and saw that the other nine landing craft also activated the hot melt blower heads one after another. This time, the jump training was all involved, but considering the danger of the patriarch, Bahram also personally participated in the battle.
"Enter the hull."
The monotonous sound of the pilot's servant rang in the horn, and then the landing craft landed heavily on the metal ground, sliding forward at a certain angle, making a harsh sound, during which some metal plates, stabilizing wings and other external components fell off until it finally stopped.
When Jacob broke free from his seat belt, the other team members also did it.
"Everyone enters a combat state, remember the formation and discipline of jumping gangs to fight, move carefully, alternate cover, leave the back to his comrades, always pay attention to the top of his head and feet, and keep at least one person performing fire monitoring when turning or passing through the ventilation duct and hatch door."
"yes!"
The soldiers promised and held their weapons tightly. Six of them were explosive guns, two were plasma, and one was hot melt. Everyone had a plasma pistol and a chainsaw sword on their waists.
This is the firepower configuration of the Knights of the Star Realm Jumping Team.
Jacob also clenched his hot melt pistol, which was the reward he received for his excellent performance in the Great Vortex, and then gently tapped the combat shield on his left arm. This shield is a lightweight version of the Storm Shield. Although its defense is not as strong as the Storm Shield, it is quite suitable for Astart in Power Armor.
When the landing craft opened the sealed airlock, Jacob was the first to rush out, with the muzzle facing forward, and then his team members rushed out and formed a battle formation as soon as possible. The initial stage of the jump gang was often the moment of the most intense counterattack fire.
But obviously there isn't here.
"Company Commander, the second team has entered."
"I received it and moved according to the designated route. You are responsible for the ED storage area and fight carefully. You will report it immediately after discovering the patriarch. Don't exchange fire directly unless you have to."
“Received, moving.”
Jacob's team entered from the back of the middle of the hull, close to the flight deck, and he walked through two airlocks, ignored the trembling crew and came to the main passage in the middle of the hull.
After leaving the narrow flight path, the interior scene of this civilian ship, which is about the size of a frigate, unfolded in front of Jacob. The entire ship has about fifty layers inside. One kilometer on the starboard side, there is another huge metal gate, which should be the passage to the aircraft carrier reactor and engine. On the left is a repair area of ​​various types of vehicles. There are huge elevators distributed on the main track of the ship's heart, connecting many areas. Due to the movements on the ship, many passengers walked out of their respective areas curiously and watched on the railings on the left and right main roads.
As the hull was attacked, there were alarms everywhere in the ship, and some areas were powered off. Jacob could see the civilians' expressions of surprise and fear.
After all, many of them left to escape the war, but the war still caught up with them.
It seems that in the Empire, no one can truly escape the war, Jacob immediately said on the Squad Channel:
Chapter completed!
